Vulnerability from fkie_nvd - Published: 2026-04-22 14:16 - Updated: 2026-06-17 10:33

Severity

9.8 (Critical) - CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H

Summary

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: net: ti: icssg-prueth: fix use-after-free of CPPI descriptor in RX path cppi5_hdesc_get_psdata() returns a pointer into the CPPI descriptor. In both emac_rx_packet() and emac_rx_packet_zc(), the descriptor is freed via k3_cppi_desc_pool_free() before the psdata pointer is used by emac_rx_timestamp(), which dereferences psdata[0] and psdata[1]. This constitutes a use-after-free on every received packet that goes through the timestamp path. Defer the descriptor free until after all accesses through the psdata pointer are complete. For emac_rx_packet(), move the free into the requeue label so both early-exit and success paths free the descriptor after all accesses are done. For emac_rx_packet_zc(), move the free to the end of the loop body after emac_dispatch_skb_zc() (which calls emac_rx_timestamp()) has returned.

In a reasonable PTP/industrial deployment, a remote network sender can trigger the timestamp path without local access.\nAC:L - The bug is not a race; the descriptor is freed before `psdata` is dereferenced on each timestamped RX packet. An attacker can reliably send packets to exercise the path.\nPR:N - The packet sender needs no privileges or authentication to reach the RX processing path. Enabling hardware timestamping requires CAP_NET_ADMIN, but that is a normal target configuration precondition rather than a privilege needed by the remote attacker.\nUI:N - No victim user action is required after the interface is running with RX timestamping enabled. Packet reception alone drives IRQ/NAPI processing into the vulnerable function.\nS:U - The impact remains within the same kernel/host security authority. This is not a VM escape, IOMMU bypass, or cross-scope boundary violation.\nC:H - This is a kernel use-after-free of a CPPI descriptor pointer used for RX metadata. Under the kernel scoring guidance, UAF of descriptor memory is treated as capable of exposing kernel or DMA-controlled memory state.\nI:H - Use-after-free in kernel RX descriptor lifetime is a memory-corruption class issue. Descriptor reuse and DMA interaction make high-integrity impact defensible under the required higher-severity scoring rule.\nA:H - Repeated network packets can repeatedly hit the freed-descriptor dereference in softirq/NAPI context. A kernel crash, RX path corruption, or device/network outage is a high availability impact."

The MITRE ATT&CK techniques below are AI-generated suggestions, inferred from the description of the vulnerability by the CIRCL/vulnerability-attack-technique-classification-roberta-base model, served locally by ML-Gateway. They have not been verified by an analyst and are provided for guidance only.
The approach is described in our paper Mapping CVEs to MITRE ATT&CK Techniques: A Curated Gold-Set Classifier and the Limits of LLM-Assisted Label Expansion.
